Distracted myself with Fringe S2 this evening - which doesn't scare me for some reason, any more than Contagion did. I think because it's just basically the monster disease of the week. Vamp Diaries, True Blood, and Secret Circle don't bother me either, nor does Supernatural (most of the time, it does on occasion). While American Horror Story, oddly and somewhat ironically did bug me and left me with images I couldn't get out of my head late at night. Writing the review did not help. So does Criminal Minds, and most Serial Killer series. I think it is because I live alone and go to and from work on my own. Psychological horror and "serial killer" style horror bothers me. Gothic or teen angst style, not so much. Doctor Who doesn't scare me at all. Nor did Torchwood. But, I'm avoiding Bedlam. It really doesn't matter how well the story is written, The Ring (American version) was a pretty bad movie, as was the Grudge - but both bugged me and I couldn't get them out of my head. As did Nightmare on Elm Street.


While I like horror, I am watching far too much of it, and the stuff that plays with my head late at night? Best to avoid. It's odd that X-Files always bugged me more than Fringe. It was scarier. Fringe isn't as scarey.
